What's your favorite flick about grief or death? Maybe it's not one that tackles the topic directly, but is part of the supporting cast...much like real life.
One that comes to mind is Lars and the Real Girl. Billed as a comedy-drama, it is imbued with grief and loss.

"The caoineadh (keening) was not for entertainment, it was fundamental to the wake. This may explain why there is so little folklore material specific to keening, recordings or such."

Sometimes people complain about a neighbor’s overgrown yard, and this can be a reminder of the community in community deathcare.
If you notice a neglected yard in your neighborhood, maybe take a moment to knock on the door and check in. There might be more going on than meets the eye.

Good life, peaceful death.
It's kinda our jam.
Not everyone will receive both- or either- many live with disease, chronic pain, deprivation. And certainly many deaths are painful, protracted, lonely.
But #CommunityDeathcare continues to work towards this goal: good life, peaceful death.

"My battery is low and it's getting dark."
This was the last transmission from the Mars rover known as Opportunity. The mission was expected to last 90 days but ran for 15 years. Opportunity sent data to NASA scientists on rock and soil types, and searched for evidence of water.

We help people work with their grief, uncovering its potential transformation.
But sometimes there is no gift to be found in the loss. Some losses leave us so thoroughly shattered the pieces can never be put back together.

Grief can be like this, too. We offer platitudes and clichés rather than being present to someone's pain. It often leaves them feeling worse.
Bring your deep listening and compassion to conversations on grief.

It's Ash Wednesday in the Catholic Church, a day that marks the start of Lent. Priest mark the forehead of parishioners with ash, a reminder that one day we, too, will return to the earth. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;" a memento mori of sorts.

The late singer Sinead O'Connor described artists as an "emergency fire service when it comes to spiritual conflict...a little light that tells us there is a spirit world."
We like to think #CommunityDeathcare is similar; the emergency service called upon when we are in that liminal space...

Gentle compassion, my friends. We might find in challenging times that our emotions are not quite right.
As for forgiveness, let's be generous in both the asking and the giving.

We are bound to each other, and it is a source of both meaning and blessing.
Obligation. From Latin, "obligare," ob "to" + ligare "to bind," from PIE root *leig- "to tie, bind."
Whether offering shelter, a helping hand, or care for the dying and dead, this applies.
